• Did you know? You can anonymously send someone poop in a box? Plain old cow dung is only $15.95 per quart, but for gorilla doo, you have to pay a little bit more. (Via the Harpers’ Weekly Review.)

• Revenge is best served on a plate, not in a bag: the Korean Air executive who demanded that her plane turn around and switch its crew during the “macademia nut incident” has not only been fired, but is now being indicted for violating aviation safety regulations.
